Dallas City Council Member Dwaine Caraway apparently isn’t finished with Columbia Packing Co.

A day after a state district judge dismissed more than a dozen felony cases over accusations that the Dallas slaughterhouse purposely dumped pig blood into a tributary of the Trinity River, Caraway is now asking the city revoke all the company’s permits.

Caraway, whose district includes Columbia, said the city should re-inspect because the company has instead pleaded guilty to misdemeanor “unauthorized discharge” and will pay a $100,000 fine. That, in Caraway’s view, proves that the company misled the city.

But the Ondrusek family, which owns the company, reiterated on Tuesday that that the release of pig blood into the water was accidental. The explanation follows the family’s well-established position that the dumping was accidental, the result of faulty plumbing.

Caraway, however, said he would like to have some additional “assurances.”

“Let’s dot the I’s and cross the T’s,” he said. “And if all is well, then what’s to be worried about.”

Revoking the company’s permits would be a reversal from June, when the City of Dallas allowed the plant to reopen as a meatpacking and distribution facility. The city hasn’t, however, allowed the company to operate as a slaughterhouse, as it previously had been.

Tom Mills, an attorney for Columbia, said the company has worked with the city's legal department and that it is in compliance. He added that Caraway was likely just upset that the district attorney's office told him that the investigation was not done properly.

"His response is to say that Columbia is a bad company and should be further punished… for nothing new," Mills said. "Once he understands it all, he will be proud of Columbia."

So what comes of Caraway’s push remains to be seen, as even the council member acknowledged that he didn’t know if the city would listen to him.

Caraway tried to bring up the topic Wednesday at a council briefing. But Mayor Mike Rawlings quickly shot down that effort, pointing out that the topic wasn’t on the agenda. And outside the meeting, City Attorney Warren Ernst declined to comment.
